I’ve got a fresh bunch of dresses for you to take a look at. I love dresses. I love throwing one on and instantly feeling a little more feminine, a little dressed up. I am always looking for something new to add to my collection. The dresses below are made of ec0-friendly fabrics like Peace Silk or Lyocell.

Chitin Dress
By Linda Loudermilk
$725

This dress is an onyx-black eco-silk, also known as “peace silk” chemise. I love the layered look and high neckline. With it’s beautiful sheen and sophisticated design, this dress is the perfect choice for any occasion that calls for a little black dress. It’s available in Misses sizes up to 16.

Wild Silk Wrap Dress
By Fin Oslo
$475

This wrap dress is made out of black wild hand-spun silk. I like the collar and the flutter sleeves. The full-skirt and soft draping make this a very flattering dress for many figure types. It’s available in sizes 34, 36, 28, 40, 42.

Sea Goddess Dress
By Chloe Angus
$279

I love this dress! I love the V-neckline, the high waistline, and the draping – very figure friendly. It’s made of Lyocell, which is derived from wood cellulose. It’s available in Ocean, Seagrass, or Slate in sizes up to 16.

Your Green Wedding: Dresses Part 3

The Natural Bridal Collection, owned and designed by Morgan Boszilkov, features dresses made of sustainable materials. Some of the dresses have detachable bottom skirts so that you wear the dress again later.

Fit to Flare Mermaid Gown

Beautiful gown with a dramatic shape. I’ve always loved the Mermaid style. I think it’s a holdover from Summers spent pretending to be a mermaid in the swimming pool. This gown was made from a combination of hemp/silk and peace silk.

Couture Eco-friendly Wedding Dress

Dress made from hemp/silk Jacquard with a detachable bottom. The two lowest tiers can be removed to create a shorter dress. Key-hole back means you will look beautiful both coming up and going down the aisle.

Bamboo and Organic Cotton Jersey Dress

This one is my favorite. It is made with bamboo, organic cotton jersey, and hemp/silk Charmeuse. I love the Greek goddess-like look of it.

The straps that remind me of the top of a silk slip. The back of the dress, shown to the left, is open, like an apron, but a really lovely apron.

The skirt features gathers and organic linen cloth flowers. A very beautiful gown.
